When visual appeal is concerned, the Mercedes-AMG E63 S 4MATIC+ has the same design language of E-Class sedan and retains the same character lines and elegant appeal. However, it looks bolder with some added styling elements to it apart as the performance oriented version of the luxury sedan.

The AMG E63 S offers 603 bhp of peak power along with 850 Nm of top torque.

The Mercedes-AMG E63 S 4MATIC+ also comes with another great feature to impress all the driving enthusiasts - the new Drift Mode. The new Drift Mode is being offered as part of the standard package on the E63 S. The AMG E63 S 4Matic+ comes with the all wheel drive system that utilizes fully variable torque distribution at both the front and rear axles to offer you that additional punchy power whenever you are longing to get a fun drive experience. Simply by selecting the 'Race' drive mode, switching off the stability control, and activating the transmission's manual mode, you can get that racy amazing drive experience. According to Mercedes-Benz, the Drift Mode turns the vehicle into a fully rear wheel drive one, which stays that way until the Drift Mode has been turned off.
